Project M Could Send Every Scientist To the Moon, By Proxy
An anonymous reader writes with this interesting bit of speculation: "NASA can put humanoids on the Moon in just 1000 days. They would be controlled by scientists on Earth using motion capture suits, giving them the feeling of being on the lunar surface. If they can achieve this for real, the results for science research of our satellite could be amazing."
You can't get instant feedback from the moon. There's a slight delay. So, it doesn't really feel like you are holding something in your hands unless you're standing still. It mostly feels like you're drunk when you operate a waldo with a delay. People are going to have to get trained to deal with that.
We train for that in grad school.
Yo mama trained me to last all night.
The Hell with the scientists!
Send Oprah and Rosie O'Donnell instead.
There has be a whole B Ark we can send off to outer space.
The signal processing delay should definitely be taken into account. For instance, I followed this woman home one day. It was cool. I broke into her house and hid in her shower. I stayed there till the next morning waiting for her to come in, undress, and take a shower. When she came in and started to take off her clothes I began to masturbate. It was so extremely arousing. I guess I was to loud because she caught on and beat the living shit out of me with a soap on a rope. If you ask me I think my grandma should lighten up. I mean she saw me naked when I was little, so I really don't understand the double standard.
